We also need 1-2 more classes like the one we have signed. We need size.RoadDawg55 said:I’ve always believe Washington can be good enough to compete with anyone, but we need a difference maker at QB.
We lack talent in places and hopefully that changes, but a great QB is an equalizer. Whoever said, switch QB’s and we win was correct.
We don’t lose to ASU with a better QB and we probably don’t lose to Stanford, even though our defense got shredded.
As hard as we are on Myles Bryant, there is a real possibility he’s just better than Molden and other 4 star recruits. If there aren’t better guys, it’s not an indictment on Bryant, BBK, or Nick Harris. -
@Swaye FTW. Add in better QB play and play calling (BUSH!) and that, amigos, is the recipe to leveling up.Swaye said:- Agree on Fuller. With Chico back in the Chico role, we just need Ty Jones and one of the freshman (Spiker/Ozzy) to emerge as the 1-2 punch with Fuller as a good third option slot guy.
- With Adams and McGary back, and another year for Watty, OL looks to be better next year than it was this year, but Harris has got to slide to center because he is getting abused at G.
- I never bash the kids but Myles Bryant has no business on the field.
- We need LB/EDGE play in the worst way. -
Yet somehow, miraculously, we were down one score at the end and if Pettis hadn’t run out of bounds we would have had a shot.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:A lot of us underrated Franklin as a coach going in. Well I did anyway. He was 9-4 at fucking Vanderbilt. I mean, that's the SEC, that's like going 16-0 in the NFL...but seriously, he outcoached us.

We had one throw to the end zone if Pettis ran out of bounds ... way less than a 5% chance of getting a tie game ...Fear_Boner said:

Now, if you want to talk about being down one score with 6+ minutes to go and thinking that the defense could have got a stop and turned it right back over to the offense ... then yeah, we had a shot at that point. -
Slight clarification, agree otherwise.Tequilla said:

If the defense had gotten that one stop, I think we?d have stolen a win. The pettis play is immaterial

I compromised and watched the game via the 60 Minute Replay on the innovative B1G Network. It showed me that what I saw with my lying eyes was real and there was no reason to watch the broadcast.
Its done. On to Auburn -
Why we lost that game comes down to being deficient in many areas and then getting rolled.
In any one position we are generally pretty good, but when you add them all up we just fall pretty short.
If we are behind PSU 10% on average at every position, that's not really bad, but over the course of the game it really adds up. Turnovers and their lackadaisical play in the second half were the only reasons we were in it. Oh, and Myles Gaskin.
We have two problems:
1) Our recruiting has not gotten us enough playmakers. We have guys who are "FINE" and can execute the game plan, so they don't look egregiously bad generally... but they can't do anything special to help you win games against good opponents).
2) We are scared and led by the absolute worst QB in the world to lead any team out of an inferiority complex. -

Stanford SUCKED last year.PostGameOrangeSlices said:RoadDawg55 said:We weren’t that much worse than Penn State. The margin was small. They are good, but I would imagine Penn State has players they know are weak.
We came out flat, played like shit, and got buried either. You can’t give up 93 yard TD runs.
We need more talent, but a lot of it was just playing like shit the first half. It’s somewhat surprising that a well coached team like UW would come out so flat and timid.
UW players dont know if they can win these games. Other teams are more confident.
This loss was really disappointing. UW needed to win to turn the corner. Instead, the players lost another huge program changing game.
Beating Colorado last year was not impressive. Lost the only 2 big games.
The Stanford game from last year is looking more and more like a fluke.
We need to beat Auburn.
HTH
It was a big must win game for UW and Browning didnt choke. That was my point.

The problem with UW right now is they are still really bad at specific spots. Specifically depth pretty much everywhere. It’s getting better but it still isn’t quite there yet.
